      Audience Member This is the first time I saw Charles Dance as the villain. The ambiance and photography are great work for a 90's cable movie, and the story is developed in a "natural" way. Even Chad Lowe (who I don't like that much) did a good work. The story touches you and you understand so many things with the look of Elina. I really think this is a must-watch on your Holocaust movie list. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Frances H A powerful drama from the pen of the late Rod Serling, also author of Requiem for a Heavyweight, set in the last days of the Warsaw Ghetto. Although showing conditions there as better than they were, as evidenced by actual footage shot by the Nazis themselves, the message is one we all need to hear--violence and hatred only lead to more violence and hatred. Only by calling upon our human power to forgive can we make the world a place fit to give our children and save the species and the planet in this age of nuclear weapons. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/21/13 Full Review Audience Member Well done and haunting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
